Background:
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a complex metabolic disorder involving many organs and can devastate the
lives of affected individuals. It is characterized by chronic high blood glucose that could lead to morbidity and mortality.
The number of people suffering from diabetes worldwide is increasing at an alarming rate. It is predicted that about 366
million people are likely to be diabetic by the year 2030. Since all of the previous studies have focused on the therapeutic
role of (Allium polyrhizum Turcz. ex Regel) preparations in diabetes mellitus, we investigated the preventive effect of oral
administration of (Allium polyrhizum Turcz. ex Regel) extract on the changes of biochemical factors and histopathology
alterations in hepatic tissue caused by diabetes. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effect of water extract (Allium polyrhizum Turcz. ex Regel) on the metabolism of rats with diabetes induced by a high-fat diet and streptozotocin.
Aim:
To investigate the antidiabetic properties of aqueous extract of (Allium polyrhizum Turcz. ex Regel) and its beneficial
effect on hematological parameters in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats.
Materials and Methods:
Experimental was performed at the Institute of Mongolian Medicine and Chemistry, Inner
Mongolia University. Male Wistar rats weighing (180 g) were obtained from The Animal Experimental Unit of Mongolia
Medicine and Chemistry Research Center, Inner Mongolia University.
The rats were housed in well-aerated individual cages in an animal room and maintained in a temperature-controlled
room (24±25°C) with a 12 h light/12 h dark cycle, 50-60 % humidity. They were fed with normal commercial chow and
water ad libitum. Throughout the experiments, animals were processed according to the suggested international ethical
guidelines for the care of laboratory animals, and all experimental procedures were approved by the Animal Care and Use
Committee of Inner Mongolia University.
After 4 weeks, the rats were fasted for 8 h before blood sampling, water was not restricted. Blood samples were collected
from the orbital venous plexus.
Results:
The blood glucose level was significantly increased in model group 24.14±2.28 mmol/L, to Control group
5.31±0.49 mmol/L. Oral administration of Allium polyrhizum Turcz.ex Regel treated group 10.5±4.05 mmol/L, Metformin treated group 9.05±2.71 mmol/L resulted in significantly decreased blood glucose levels less model group.

Mongolian Medical Sciences 2024;207(1):8-14
Introduction:
The last decade has seen a dramatic increase in general interest in and research into vitamin D, with
many athletes now taking vitamin D supplements as part of their everyday dietary regimen. The most
recognized role of vitamin D is its regulation of calcium homeostasis; there is a strong relationship
between vitamin D and bone health in non-athletic individuals. Vitamin D is responsible for regulation
of calcium and phosphate metabolism and maintaining a healthy mineralized skeleton. It is also known
as an immunomodulatory hormone. Experimental studies have shown that 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D,
the active form of vitamin D, exerts immunologic activities on multiple components of the innate and
adaptive immune system as well as endothelial membrane stability. Studying the level of vitamin D in
athletes in relation to age group, body mass index, and type of sport is important for reducing the risk of
injury and infection in athletes and improving performance and success in sports.
Goal:
To determine the 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] levels in the plasma of the trained athletes and their
vitamin D status to compare of their sports type.
Materials and Methods:
Sample size
Using a cross-sectional design, a total of 71 athletes aged 20-43 from the sports medicine research
center and the national team was selected by sampling.
Method of the Laboratory analyses
The body mass index and blood plasma level of 25 hydroxy vitamin D of the athletes participating in the
study were compared by sports type and analyzed using descriptive statistics. Comparison of survey
data was performed using Pearson’s correlation method.
Results:
In the study, 71 athletes of the Mongolian national team participated in 5 types of sports. Descriptive
analysis was performed on the general parameters of the athletes, body mass index, type of sport, level
of vitamin D in the blood, etc.
An avarege level of vitamin D of the athletes who participated in our study were 22.27±12.9 ng/ml, in the age group of 20-29 years, and compared to the body mass index, it was the highest level in the athletes of normal weight.
Conclusions
1. The level of vitamin D of the athletes who participated in our study was the highest in the age group
of 20-29 years, 22.27±12.9 ng/ml, and compared to the body mass index, it was the highest level
in the athletes of normal weight.
When studying the level of vitamin D of the participants in comparison with the type of sport, the
freestyle wrestlers had a higher level of 34.75±15.13 ng/ml, while the judo wrestlers had a lower
level of 12.69±5.17 ng/ml.

Mongolian Medical Sciences 2024;208(2):3-7
Introduction:
Although bacterial vaginosis prevalence varies across countries and populations, recent systematic
reviews and meta-analyses indicate that 23–29% of women of reproductive age are infected. Each
year, 21.2 million (22.9%) women between the ages of 14 and 49 in the United States develop bacterial
vaginosis. Microenvironments are interconnected with the endocrine, immune, and other organ
systems and dependent upon external and internal environmental influences. In women between the
ages of 15 and 44, bacterial vaginosis is the most common vaginal disorder, according to the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention.
In our nation, 93.4% of women who are of reproductive age have vaginalis; the percentage of cases
with Gardnerella vaginalis alone is 22.6%, and 53.1% have it in combination with other anaerobic
bacteria, which is a significant percentage. Our research is based on the lack of information about the
vaginal environment of Mongolian women and factors influencing changes in the microenvironment.
Our research is based on the lack of information about the vaginal environment of Mongolian women
and factors influencing changes in the microenvironment.
Goal:
The objective is to study how age relates to the development of bacterial and fungal vaginitis through
the analysis of vaginal swabs.
Materials and Methods:
For our study, we selected 100 women aged 20-59 through targeted sampling from clients who
underwent vaginal smear tests at “Yu Bi Lab” laboratory and “Tsetsuu” diagnostic center in Ulaanbaatar
in 2023. Vaginal smear analysis was conducted using Nugent’s criteria and Gram staining. Statistical
analysis was performed by comparing pathogens among the participants based on age using
Pearson’s correlation method. We obtained permission to conduct research.
Through the Etugen University Biomedical Ethics Comittee convention held on march 11,2024
Results:
The study divided 100 women into four age groups to examine the vaginal environment with their age
and the factors influencing it. The research aimed to understand how bacterial vaginitis and fungal
vaginitis evolve during reproductive age and menopause. Among the age groups, women aged 20-29
had an average of 5.59±3.35 epithelial cells (n=32), those aged 30-39 had 6.10±3.29 (n=37), women
aged 40-49 had 6.70±3.90 (n=17), and women aged 50-59 had the highest number of epithelial cells
at 9.42±8.19 (n=14), representing 34% of the group.
Conclusion
1. Women of reproductive and menopausal age experience changes in the vaginal environment due to
various factors. This includes a decrease in the ratio of normal microorganisms and lactobacilli, an increase in the number of conditional pathogens, and the development of an alkaline environment
in the vagina.
2. Bacterial vaginitis predominantly affects younger women, with symptoms often being subtle. In
contrast, fungal vaginitis is more common among menopausal women. Lower estrogen levels in
women in this age group cause lactobacilli to break down glycogen less efficiently into lactic acid,
even though the number of lactobacilli is still normal. This research implies that suppositories and
estrogen pills may help treat these problems for women between the ages of 40 and 59.

Introduction:
The average age of the population varies in every country of the world, which depends on the changes
that occur in the body during aging and many external and internal factors that affect it. Thyroid
hormones play an important role in ensuring and maintaining normal metabolic function throughout
life. Our country is located in a mountainous region of the mainland, the amount of iodine in drinking
water is low, and the amount of iodine taken from food is low, which creates the risk of iodine deficiency
disorders. Therefore, we aimed to study how the thyroid function changes with age in Mongolian
people.
Goal:
A comparative study of thyroid hormone secretion levels in adult women.
Material and Method:
In our study, 83 women over the age of 20 were selected based on the “Yu Bi Lab” diagnostic center.
Triiodothyronine (T3), thyroxine (T4), and thyrotropin (TSH) of the women participating in the study
were determined using the FHU method using the Magiwel ELISA diagnostic kit manufactured by
United Biotech.
Results:
81 women over 20 years of age participated in our study, the average age was 44.45±14.17, and the
participants were divided into 5 groups with 10 age intervals. 20-29 years 18% (n=15) average age
24.6±2.64, 30-39 years 22% (n=18) average age 33.6± 3.12, 40-49 years 16% (n=13) average age
45.15±1.67, 50-59 years 25% (n=20) average age 54.15±2.99, 60-69 years 19% (n=15) average age
63.73± 3.05, were.
Conclusion
1. When comparing T3 and T4 hormones by age group, T3 hormone is higher in the 30-39 age group
at 5.05 ng/ml. The T4 hormone gradually decreases with age.
2. Thyroiodin hormone increased with age. The relationship between the age of the participants
and TSH hormone was directly related to statistical age when calculated by Pearson’s correlation
coefficient (p=0.01).

Mongolian Medical Sciences 2013;166(4):6-8
Background: Discrepancies in the sensitivity to biological effects of the androgens, exerted through the binding of the hormone to the androgen receptor (AR), may also be involved in the inter-individual variation of T as well as in age related decline. The human androgen receptor (AR), located on chromosome Xq11-12, is a transcription factor regulating the development of male reproductive organs in the fetus and secondary sex characteristics at puberty in response to testosterone (T) and 5a-dihydrotestosterone (DHT). The AR contains two polymorphic regions, the (CAG)nCAA repeat encoding polyglutamine, and the (GGT)3GGG(GGT)2(GGC)n repeat encoding polyglycine, commonly referred to as the CAG and GGN repeats respectively. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of the human androgen receptor genes CAG and GGN repeat polymorphisms in relation with androgen level.Materials and Methods: Sample collection: 180 male, the medical data of these volunteers were obtained and determined some androgen hormones at first phase of study in 2010-2011 (total testosterone (TT), free testosterone (FT) and bioavailable testosterone (BAT)). To determine CAG/GGN repeats length in exon of androgen receptor gene, using frozen serum as a source of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). DNA was extracted from blood samples (200 ml) using High PurePCR Template Preparation Kits.Results: The 180 men whose age is at least 40 were involved in our research and their average age was 55.1±10.3. The 46.7% (84) of the participants presents CAG gene, the 6.1% (11) of the participants presents GGN gene while the 25.5% (46) of the participants presents both CAG and GGN genes. However, the 21.7% of 39 men not presents CAG and GGN genes.Conclusion: The free testosterone level was significantly decreasing with aging. However, the appearance of CAG gene polymorphism was significantly higher in more aged people. Decline of free testosterone level in participants with CAG and [CAG+GGN] combined form was stronger than in people with GGN gene polymorphism and CAG, GGN both undetected people. But the level of bioavailable testosterone was decreasing with aging and the appearance of CAG gene polymorphism (r=-0.425, p=0.01) and [CAG+GGN] combined form (r=-0.491, p=0.028) was also increasing.
